Redundancy is a fossil left over from the days when engines could last 2000 hours on the wing, and radios were "crystal".

A back step from that old worn out bromide is necessary to save lives, and modernize design. Better a redundant system but anomalous design than the false security of "numbers". Hard to believe that "More is better" is still around....
